Belly scratch turns rhino into giant puppy

No-one can resist a good old fashioned scratch and the baby rhino in this YouTube footage is no exception.

Calmly stretching out to get a full-body rub, the calf blisses out as its human scratches all the good spots – under the leg, under the chin and under the belly.

Rhinos aren't particularly known for this sort of puppy-like behaviour, but the rhinos at housed at Care for Wild Africa aren't just any old rhino – the majority have all been left orphaned by the poaching trade.

The Care for Wild Africa sanctuary in South Africa is dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating orphaned baby rhinos and is currently the largest rhino orphanage in the world.
